I'm glad at least some workers are catching a break. There's a story plastered all over mainstream news about how some rich ass billionaire killed himself because he lost billions in some damn recent financial scandal and just couldn't bear to go on. There was evidently no time in the 24-hr news cycle to explore how unemployed people with children to feed are managing during these turbulent times.
this is nice news. AT least one comapny is doing the right thing by hiring those workers back, giving them 1500, and giving them insurance on day 1. I'm curious to know more about what this company is about. I presume the workers weren't organized since there wasn't a mention of any union in that article.
